Another edition of Reel Talk is here — this time we're diving into #SpookySeason by talking about one of my favorite "gateway to horror" movies of all time, 1987's iconic Fred Dekker classic, "The Monster Squad." How does this movie hold up nearly 40 years later? Is it worth your time in 2026? Is it still OK for kids? Let's discuss.
